The reverse process is not exactly smooth, especially with the wiggly roads in a British city. Attempted to load Bristol's roads and hit the node limit before it completed, and the stuff that made it through was very mangled. Recognisable, but incomplete. I imagine it would work well for sparsely populated areas.

That looks like an absolute nightmare

I've started a new game on the Santa Cruz map I made. I'm playing with Stricter Slopes and Fine Road Heights. This makes the Slope Too Steep! limits much harsher, while allowing more subtle control over the elevation of road segments. It makes highway intersections much more challenging, especially in hilly terrain.
This took *hours*
So worth it
(Note: My main city on the coast backed up with poop and I didn't realise cos I was too absorbed in this little mountain town. Still, so worth it.)

told my 10 yr old nephew about this last night, he watched the video in the OP and likes it
his mum looked quite concerned! apparently heavily into minecraft
Tell his Mum that it's useful for a career as a city planner.

Move the bus stop 40m down the block and watch them swarm around to the new location.

peaked around 43.8k in a 2x2 grid, main problem is that the shops don't have enough goods to sell, presumably because there's only one outside connection, I dunno if you could replace most/all the shops with offices, that's what I was gradually doing but didn't seem to do anything to population either way. does leave me wondering what the potential maximum is, and the balance between using space for parks/services to upgrade buildings and having more buildings. I could also have got rid of my metro and bus systems to make a little more space, and reduce all the roads down to two lane roads but I wanted to keep at least some semblance of an actual city. Possibly if you made a map with a narrow river on one edge, just enough space for hydro dam and fresh/sewarage, a highway connection and a railway just cutting a corner for a cargo station to bring more goods in, you might get higher especially if you don't care about traffic. I reckon there's a little efficiency maximising to be done by grouping all the residential together for minimal number of schools and other services.

My case and PSU arrived today, my components will be here Saturday. Assuming everything works, me and a couple of bottles of Jacobs Creek pink fizz will be enjoying this over the BHOL weekend

Yeah, I tested this by buying land to the left of that image and adding in a cargo train station, problem solved.
But putting a station/tracks into a 2x2km sq takes up valuable space, and industry needs uneducated people which means you need residential areas that won't be maxed out cos there's no schools, so won't house as many people.
I think housing and offices only would be the way to go. Even then I don't think you'd get much over 50k, so I'm not going to try again, back to building a normal(ish) city

I've taken a break from this while I've been absorbed by Diablo 3 (sometimes I'm a late adopter). I'm just starting my Hell playthrough. I plan on going through on Inferno afterwards, then back to this and also DAI.

Build some parks and then a forest. It won't stop anyone leaving but you can install various mods and walk around the parks and forest you've created and it'll be like you're outside but you'll still be playing the game
